In technologically advanced countries, there is a general concern over the recruitment and retention to science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). In the UK, there are much commented upon shortages of qualified STEM secondary teachers. In an effort to produce change, Gatsby Technical Education Projects (GTEP) was set up specifically…

This document is an English-language abstract (approximately 1,500 words) of a book prepared by the Federation of Yugoslavia Organizations for Technical Culture ("Narodna Tehnika"). In this book, an attempt is made to (1) establish the current trends in the development of scientific and technical culture and productive technical…

Included in these proceedings are papers on such topics as developments and trends in two-year engineering technology programs, cooperative education programs, women in engineering, registration and certification of engineering technology graduates, management education, market analysis, continuing engineering education, industrial training…

The needs for continuing engineering education to avoid technical obsolescence and the programs offered by one company to fill this need are discussed. Ten educational alternative programs of the Sandia Laboratories, Albuquerque (New Mexico) are described. (CP)

The set-up and checking-out of a simulated chemical pilot plant as part of a chemical engineering technology lab is described. (BB)

Attempts to identify the positions available to Bachelor of Engineering Technology (B.E.T.) graduates. A survey of B.E.T. graduates showed that they are being employed in responsible positions by industry and that most are receiving job assignments comparable to those given engineering graduates. Surveys by other institutions are suggested. (MA)

Summarizes curriculum guidelines for the following engineering technologies: chemical, industrial, mining, petroleum, nuclear, civil, mechanical, electrical, automotive, and manufacturing. In a few years, these Engineering Council for Professional Development committee guidelines are intended to become the criteria by which programs will be judged…

The lack of consistency and uniformity throughout California concerning program and course objectives, titles and content, prompted the study reported in this article. Community colleges statewide were included in the study. Curricular characteristics of engineering technology and industrial technology programs were recommended and definitions…

Describes the educational programs at the Institute Technologico de Costa Rica. The engineering technology curriculum is based on the results of a nationwide study to identify critical areas of industrial need. The programs are designed for six semesters with scheduled work experiences within the school year. (MA)

Bachelor of engineering technology (B.E.T.) programs were created in response to the need for graduates who are ready for productive industrial jobs, not for graduate school. It is suggested that there should be communication between the engineering technology and the traditional engineering faculties to provide strong educational programs. (MA)

Discusses an industrial advisory committee as a means for continuing frequent and relevant interaction between engineering technology faculty and the industrial community. Organizational details are described. (CS)

Summarized is the Restructuring of Education in Science for Industrial Alignment (RESIA) project, a five-year effort in Utah to more closely link higher education with the educational needs of industry. During the first two years, college faculty, industrial supervisors, and training directors developed a total of 76 modules of course material in…

Clarifying the influences determining how and to what extent highly qualified personnel are employed, this study discusses those sorts of economic and technological advances affecting employment potentials. Two main trends in scientific and technological progress--computerized industries and the high science-content of production--have so…
